Standard payment terms

We pay 30 days as standard, though many stock suppliers are on 60 days. For stock suppliers, payment terms generally begin from the goods being received into our warehouse and clearing quality control. The longer transit times from the Far East have resulted in post-QC payment times being lengthened in the period.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Dispute resolution process

Complaints and disputes should be raised initially with the Accounts Payable department in our Beckton office via email or telephone. A complaint will be picked up by a specific member of staff, depending on the type of supplier, on receipt and where it cannot be resolved the complaint will be escalated in the first instance to the Purchase Ledger Manager and then to the Financial Controller if required.
